We've been tinkering with consoles and PCs alike, exploring the nooks and crannies of gaming world, and we've got quite a tale to tell. Lexi's taken a roller coaster ride through the realm of PC upgrades, battling with the ASUS X670 Pro Wi-Fi board and comparing AMD and Intel processors. We chat about the highs and lows, the wins and the frustrating near-misses, and we're inviting you to join the conversation.
Nothing gets gamers talking quite like a little controversy, and the recent furor surrounding Konami's Metal Gear Solid 5 has been a catalyst for some heated debate. We tackle the impact of Kojima's departure on the game's development, the console vs. Steam versions, and even the merits of playing the game on the Nintendo Switch. It's a Metal Gear fan's dream discussion, with every twist and turn fully explored.
But it's not all tech talk and game analysis. We're also addressing the elephant in the room – gatekeeping in gaming and other hobbies. Join us as we navigate this tricky terrain, scrutinizing the different types of gamers, gaming expectations, and the importance of expanding your horizons. Plus, we're dreaming up 'fire as fuck' hoodie designs and teasing some upcoming merchandise. It's a wild ride through the world of gaming and beyond, and we can't wait to share it with you.
